Hi All,
After many years playing football manager games i have finally taken the leap and am going to blog & video about my FM save. I will drop quarterly updates into this post to keep you up-to date with progress & be uploading videos onto my youtube channel of the games.
I have recently set up a youtube channel & created an intro video for the series which shows the compelling history of Burnley FC.

Background
![]()
Burnley once were one of the big teams in English football. Back in 1914 & famously in 1959-1960 they won the old division one. Harry Potts led the small Lancashire town all the way to top the league and in a memorable 2-1 against Man city at maine road captured the title. Legends such as Pay Pointer, Jimmy Adamson & Jimmy McIlroy have long cemented themselves into Burnley folk law.

The 70's & 80's proved to be tougher times at Burnley and 10 years later they were relegated into the old division two.
Times got tougher and on May 9th 1987 Burnley faced what was once unthinkable for the former champions of England - relegation out of the football league.
Burnley had to win and results go their way in order to stave off relegation. A thrilling 2-1 win set the crowd into raptures & Lincoln were the unfortunate team to be relegated that year. THIS WAS ROCK BOTTOM!!
Burnley began to slowly rise up the football league again and at wembley in 2009 Wade Elliot scored the goal that took Burnley back to the big time.
2 promotions and 2 relegation's followed before Sean dyche won championship and burnley return to glory is now one step closer.
Today

Sean Dyche has left the club looking for greener pastures & Burnley have employed Rob Taylor as the new manager. Taylor comes in cold to the role with only sunday league football experience to count on. He has stated to the press that he once took Bromley to the champions league final on football manager.
The Team
![]()
3 new signings
Dider Drogba coming in as cover - Drogba at Burnley if only it was 10 years ago!!!
Guido Carrillo as the new star striker
Macnelly Torress as the main AMC
Sam Vokes has left the club for £6m that could possibly rise to £7m
![]()
Torres is injured but only slightly improvement across the board. It seams a sunday league manager for a small premier league club isn't the most appealing to quality footballers.
Finances
![]()
Who said that being rich was a guarantee when joining the premier league. In debt before we start.
Season Goal
EPL - Avoid Relegation (this could be quite the task)
FA Cup - Fifth Round
The old milk cup - Fifth Round.
Thanks for reading. Be sure to check out the youtube videos & I will post quarterly season updates.
Cheers
